Modern graphs are both large and dynamic, presenting significant challenges for fundamental queries, such as the Single-Source Shortest Path (SSSP) problem. Naively recomputing the SSSP tree after each topology change is prohibitively…
Is detecting a $k$-clique in $k$-partite regular (hyper-)graphs as hard as in the general case? Intuition suggests yes, but proving this -- especially for hypergraphs -- poses notable challenges. Concretely, we consider a strong notion of…

We consider the problem of finding critical points of functions that are non-convex and non-smooth. Studying a fairly broad class of such problems, we analyze the behavior of three gradient-based methods (gradient descent, proximal update,…
